History Trivia / FireEmblemAwakening

* AccidentallyAccurate: A joke in the Avatar's supports with Frederick has them trick him into eating bear meat ([[RunningGag again]]) by claiming it's "venison".

** Creator/JamiesonPrice has a recognizable [[BadassBaritone deep and smooth voice]] that's pretty constantly used throughout all of his roles, meaning he usually doesn't get much of an opportunity to show off his vocal range. So his role as Virion, who uses a lighter voice with a french accent, came as a shocker to many people as nobody thought he was capable of pulling something like that off. In fact, many people thought that Virion was voiced by Creator/DanWoren for years before news came out that it was Price.

->'''NCZ:''' Anyone who thinks Jamieson Price doesn't get to show off his range enough needs to let it sink in that it took 4 years for anyone to even consider that it was him voicing Virion.

* IKnewIt: When [[spoiler:Male Morgan]] was confirmed as the boss of the [[spoiler:first Future Past DLC Chapter]], some fans theorized that [[spoiler:Female Morgan]] would be the boss of the [[spoiler:second chapter]].

* NewbieBoom: The game got more marketing in the West than previous titles, giving it much better mainstream exposure than its predecessors.

* {{Jossed}}: It has been theorised that Lon'qu, the swordsman who CannotTalkToWomen, would extend his awkwardness around them to [[spoiler: his own prospect daughters from the future, should he marry a first generation character who gives birth to a girl]]. The Future Past DLC josses this: [[spoiler: if he marries Tharja and then he goes rescue the alternate universe!Noire, AU!Noire bluntly mentions his aversion to women, and Lon'qu's reply is basically "why would I be scared ''of my own daughter''?". Granted, conversations with other potential daughters suggest that while he is unafraid of being near his daughter, he ''was'' afraid that he ''might'']].

* FranchiseKiller: It would've been this if the game sold fewer than a quarter million units.
